Synopsis:

The Committee's report examines a range of issues regarding the provision of information about the nutritional contents of foods to consumers by food producers and retailers, by Government and others sources. Issues discussed include the division of responsibilities for food information policy within government; food safety and hygiene matters; food labelling for prepacked and non-prepacked foods; food assurance schemes; legal controls on consumer information; and public education about food nutrition. The Committee's findings include that food information policy encompasses regulatory matters, public health initiatives, education within schools, and advertising issues, with responsibility for these areas currently divided between at least six different government departments and agencies. The report recommends that the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs should be given lead responsibility for co-ordinating food information policy across both central and local government, as well as for representing the UK position at EU level.Support is given for the introduction of a UK-wide system of nutrition signposting to assist consumers in making healthier food choices 'at a glance'.
